Where is All The Good Things From BC (AGBC) located?
All The Good Things From BC does not have a physical store yet. We are an online store based out of Whistler, British Columbia, Canada - on the traditional & unceded territories of the Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh (Squamish) and L̓il̓wat7úl (Lil'wat) First Nations.
Does AGBC stock all items on hand?
Yes, we do!
There are a lot of Indigenous designs on the goods you carry, but AGBC is not Indigenous owned, why is that?
When acquiring products to fulfill AGBC mission - helping customers shop with ease for bc-themed products made sustainably with timeless designs it is logical to end up with a lot of Northwest Coast art designs, because they tick all AGBC boxes.
Yet another reason would be AGBC's commitment to mindful curating. Local First Nation's designs are held as a quality esthetic benchmark here at AGBC. Most stores do it the other way round and just add a few Northwest Coast designs to their mix.
Please note that every item with Indigenous design lists the artists and their cultural affiliation and are 100% authentic Indigenous designs. More over, you can click on artist's name and learn more, the same goes for various symbols and themes.
How does AGBC give back?
First of all, we pay taxes, big corporations tend not to.
We are here to support circulations of goods in local economy.
5 % of sales of items with Indigenous designs goes to IRSSS (Indian Residential School Survivors Society).
1% of sales of all the other items goes to the BC Parks Foundation via 1% for the Planet.
Can I return an unused product?
Yes, within 30 days. Shipping cost are customer's responsibility.
We do not take back earrings, sorry. For more info, see our Refund Policy.
I am not Indigenous, can I wear Indigenous designs?
YES - more than ever. As we have been following several independent Indigenous designers & companies & artists etc. over the years we dare say that even in the light of the recent events, most of them are saying YES.
Wearing an authentic Indigenous design shows your love and support for that particular artist. It is cultural APPRECIATION and a quintessential part of that is knowing where the design you are wearing comes from. Learn the name of the artist, learn about the design too. All The Good Things From BC makes this easy since we have always offered links to pages about artists and the designs. And after some lessons learned - we are honest - we carry only 100% authentic Indigenous designs by artists mostly based in BC.
Note that the links don't work in product descriptions in our newsletter or on Facebook/Instagram product pages of our shop.
Should I be buying Indigenous designs only from Indigenous artist or is it cool to shop from shops too?
Sure, please buy directly from Indigenous artists - there is a lively public group on Facebook called Native Art - Direct From Artists or another one called Shop Indigenous Market. Both groups feature many Indigenous artists based in "BC" and should be free of any fraudulent products.

Here at All The Good Things From BC we are slowly building a list of authentic & operational Indigenous owned businesses based out of BC. It is important for us to gain consent from each business - that takes time.
Now back to the original question - YES - it is ok to shop via shops like AGBC because not all artists are keen to build direct sales and shopping via shops like AGBC helps these artists to build up audiences and grow their production capacities.
Here in AGBC we understand that not everyone has the capacity to follow dozens of artists or companies and that is when curated selections of trustworthy business comes in.
We are here to serve you the best we can!
